Hey, we're going live - AND we have an announcement for it! (FOR ONCE.) We're doing something different and checking out my Pokémon card collection from when I was a kid - and then afterwards building some LEGO! (Maybe video games after, too.) Come on by and hang out! twitch.tv/jduran89

PSA: There are trolls going around Twitch chats asking "would you rather gain muscle or gain eagers?" They're hoping you say it out loud because "gain eagers" pronounced quickly sounds like a slur. Put the term "gain eagers" on your AutoMod banned term list, especially if you have any TTS.

"History is written by the winners" indeed. As an amateur World War II buff, this is appalling. What's next to get censored and white-washed from the annals of history: the Bataan Death March? The Tuskegee Airmen? Senator Inoue and the rest of the 442nd? Navajo code talkers? Executive Order 9066?

There's a joke that says: "Since the advent of the Internet, the Earth's rotation has been powered by English writers rolling in their graves." Today's rotation (2/28/25) has sadly been powered by: - the Founding Fathers of the USA - every innocent Ukrainian killed since February 24, 2022

We're starting Day 6 of our "Tales of the Abyss" playthrough, and it looks like things have taken a smoldering turn for the worst. We're stuck with Asch. (Get it?) Let's figure out what Asch is investigating and - more importantly - see if Luke learns how NOT to be an idiot. twitch.tv/jduran89

Okay, I couldn't think of anything special to belatedly celebrate my five-year Affiliate anniversary, so we're just gonna build some fun LEGO stuff for my job. I know, I know - don't do work stuff off-hours... but if it's LEGO, can you REALLY call it "work?" twitch.tv/jduran89

The community voted, and we're now starting up the winning game: "Tales of the Abyss," an RPG from my high school days that I touched once on my 3DS years ago and completely forgot about. Time to rock out to some Bump of Chicken and talk a bunch about fonons and Artes and stuff! twitch.tv/jduran89

After we finished "The "Metal Gear Solid" / "The Twin Snakes" Comparison Playthrough," we looked at how the latter tried to implement "MGS2's" "Clearing" mechanic - and as you can guess: they didn't do it well. Allow "MGS2" to showcase how it should have been done. twitch.tv/jduran89

Metal Gear REX. The fistfight versus Liquid. The jeep escape. Three boss fights left... but the REAL challenge is repeating those three on a LESSER version of the game. (Ugh.) Day 5 of "The 'Metal Gear Solid' / 'The Twin Snakes' Comparison Playthrough" is starting now! twitch.tv/jduran89

Day 3 of "The Metal Gear Solid / The Twin Snakes Comparison Playthrough is starting NOW! Someone in an earlier stream joked that I was slowly becoming "the Twin Snakes Guy" because of these streams. I don't want them to be right... but at the same time, I think they are. D: twitch.tv/jduran89

I feel like if there's a cause out there that you believe is worth supporting, you'll help out in whatever little way you can. That being said, it's time for me to see how bad I play "Metal Gear: Ghost Babel" as I (unofficially) support @mgscon.com and the MGSCON3 Kickstarter! twitch.tv/jduran89

December's officially here, and we're going to start the last month of the year by doing two things: 1.) Building random LEGO sets I unearthed from storage! 2.) Supporting @mgscon.com by training in some "Metal Gear Solid 1/2" VR missions! Come along and hang out! twitch.tv/jduran89

I have plans for December that need to be started soon. Squad 7 wants Gallia freed from the yoke of the Empire as soon as possible. Can we get both of these things done TONIGHT before December descends upon us? There's only one place to find out the answer: twitch.tv/jduran89
